Damian Priest agreed to give Drew McIntyre a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship once he was cleared to compete. Now, the former champion has named WWE Clash at the Castle as the ideal place.
WWE Clash at the Castle will emanate from Glasgow, Scotland, on June 15. “The Scottish Warrior” has said that he wants his rematch to be in his home country.
In an interview with Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Drew McIntyre was asked about his dream match for WWE Clash at the Castle.
“As much as I’d love to slap [CM] Punk around in front of all my friends and family and in Glasgow where I went to university for a year, one of the roughest places in the world. If I don’t finish the job, they’ll finish it for me,” McIntyre said. “It’s about getting that title back. Having the title for five minutes and 46 seconds at WrestleMania was pretty cool. It was a legitimate very special moment and you could tell how much it meant to me, having that moment with the fans and my wife and my brother before we went into the other stuff, which obviously advanced stories, but I want that type of magic.”
Drew McIntyre On Damian Priest
Drew Mcintyre turned his attention to Damian Priest and noted that he wanted his rematch for the title. He stated that, if Priest is still the champion, challenging for the gold at WWE Clash at the Castle would be his dream scenario.
“[Damian] Priest has still got the title,” McIntyre said. “We had words last week, and whatever he said everyone thinks, Priest got one over on Drew – you can never get one over on Drew, nobody gets one over on Drew, cause Drew’s playing chess, while Priest is playing with his guyliner. Give him a rematch, that’s all I wanted. McIntyre is always one step ahead.
“I would love to have that title match if he’s still the champion in Scotland and finally have that moment with the title and actually keep the title. But I could never have imagined it could potentially be in Glasgow. So that’s my dream scenario.”
McIntyre has been absent from competition due to a fractured elbow. There is no word on when McIntyre will be cleared to compete. WrestleZone will provide more information as it becomes available.
